Maybe we should rethink this WBC thing

As far as I can tell in my 12 seconds of research, the US is going to LA for the semifinals of the World Baseball Classic with exactly one position player on the bench. Hey, now that sounds like a good idea. David Wright fouled a ball off his toe, dropping him to his knees in the first inning of the meaningless game last night against Venezuela. He crawled around in agony, a fact the US trainers willfully ignored because if no one tends to him he can't be injured and there's no other third basemen on the roster so suck it up you fucking pansy! In all seriousness, the US is pulled hamstring away from being entirely unable to field a team in LA and being forced to forfeit. I'm thinking the injury substitution rules may need to be tweaked before they play another one of these things.
